  • Pressemitteilung ENGLISCH
    Press release For immediate release Berlin, 26 November 2010 ‘The Art of the Enlightenment’ in Beijing German Museums present Exhibition on the Art of the Enlightenment in the Largest Museum in the World at Tiananmen Square; Stiftung Mercator organizes Parallel Event Series ‘Enlightenment in Dialogue’ An exhibition by the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen Munich, in conjunction with the National Museum of China in Beijing Spring 2011 – spring 2012 Berlin – In spring 2011 three major German museum bodies – the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen Munich – will join forces with the National Museum of China to present an exhibition on the art of the Enlightenment, to be held in Beijing. The exhibition reveals the unfolding artistic and intellectual curiosity and openness of mind which characterized this era in European history. It is furthermore the first international exhibition to be hosted at the National Museum of China when it reopens in early 2011 after the completion of an extensive refurbishment and expansion program. The initial agreement on the long-term presentation of works of art by the three German museum partners in the National Museum of China was signed by the then German President Horst Köhler and his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing in May 2007. The joint exhibition project between the three German museum bodies and the National Museum of China was then formally agreed to in writing on 29 January 2009, during a ceremony in the German Chancellery in Berlin which was attended by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.

  • National Museum of China Reopened
    National Museum of China reopened 2020/05/04 CGTN As the COVID-19 pandemic has eased in China, museums in Beijing reopened on May 1. Among these popular destinations are the Palace Museum and the National Museum of China. After closing for almost 100 days to help contain the spread of COVID-19, the Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, opened its doors on Friday. However, the Palace administration has enforced a cap of 5,000 visitors per day to follow the social distancing measures. Tickets need to be booked online in advance. For now only outdoor spaces in the compound are open to public. Visitors must have their body temperature checked and scan a QR code to confirm their health status before entering the ancient site. The National Museum of China, which is right across the road, is taking similar precautions. Gu Jiandong, deputy Party secretary of the National Museum of China's CPC Committee, told CGTN: "Among the ongoing exhibitions, I especially recommend our 'Ancient China' exhibition, because it's the only one in the country in which you get to see 5,000 years of our country's cultural legacy in its full glory." For Beijing residents, who have been in self-quarantine for months, visiting museums is a popular choice for entertainment and education during the Labor Day holiday. A visitor praised the efforts made by the authorities in managing crowds. "The museum used to admit 30,000 people a day, but now only 3,000 visitors are allowed. So we want to take this opportunity to better appreciate the exhibition about ancient China," he said.

  • National Museum of China Beijing, China
    gmp · von Gerkan, Marg and Partners · Architects National Museum of China Beijing, China The conversion and extension of the Chinese National Museum combines the former Chinese History Muse- um with the Chinese Revolutionary Museum. Completed in 1959 as one of ten important public buildings in Tian’anmen Square, in direct proximity to the Forbidden City, the museum still constitutes a milestone in history of modern Chinese architecture. Outline schemes for the conversion and extension project were invited from ten international architectural firms, the proposal by architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) together with CABR of Beijing being adjudged preferred bidder, ahead of Foster and Partners, Kohn Pedersen Fox, OMA and Herzog & de Meuron etc. The original submission by gmp envisaged gutting the existing museum. The central block would be removed, and the large space thereby created spanned by a bronze flying roof linking the old building and the extension. The flying roof was planned to house the main exhibition on Chinese history, with a direct view towards the sights of the city. Following a discussion with the client and Chinese architectural experts, this scheme was revised, with the aim of integrating more of the external impact of the old building in the new building, though without aboli- shing the immediately obvious distinction between old and new. This would allow the building itself to illustrate the continuity of history. The task was to combine the northern and southern wings into an integral complex of buildings by removing the central structure to make the Chinese National Museum. The 260m (850ft)-long hall acts as its central access area.

  • Bejing Photo-Essay, September 2019, by Elly
    Bejing photo-essay, September 2019, by Elly View from my window: 4th Ring Road (on the right) and Olympic area (straight ahead) I was invited by a former visiting scholar at ASU to come to Beijing for a month, to teach syntax at the University of Science and Technology, Beijing (USTB). My students were amazingly dedicated and asked so many good questions: I really loved their enthusiasm! My host made life very enjoyable and the experience truly amazing; she and wonderful students showed me Beijing life and sights. More on all of this below! And a friend came up from Zhengzhou and we spent two days exploring the Great Wall outside Beijing, a Ming village, and saw a farm and the most beautiful mountain ranges. Themes in the below are: USTB, cityscape, transportation, world view, art, my teaching here, food, and special sights inside and outside of Beijing. The Great Wall at Badaling The University of Science and Technology has 30,000 students with a number of international students (mainly from Africa), who I was told get better dorms: 2/room where Chinese students are 4 to 7 to a room. Undergraduate fees are US $500-1000 (4000-6000 Y) and graduate ones a little over $1000 (8000- 10000 Y) per year and dorm fees 900 Y. Students get government and departmental aid. USTB is one of many universities in the Haidian/Wudaokou district, in the NW of Beijing; others are Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), and Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU). 1 School of Foreign Studies, before the semester started West Gate of USTB; Soviet style buildings BFSU library BLCU North Gate I was perhaps most surprised by how much green there is and how much older architecture is preserved.

  • Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂)
    The Mao Era in Objects Great Hall Of The People (人民大会堂) Toby Lincoln, University of Leicester Summary Architecture often has a political meaning. Think of Buckingham Palace, the White House, the Kremlin, or the local government offices such as city hall or town councils. Public spaces in cities such as parks and squares also have political meanings. This biography examines the Great Hall of the People, one of the most important political buildings in China. It describes how the building was planned and constructed during the Great Leap Forward, discusses how the architectural style and the interior symbolized the power, ideology and policies of the Chinese Communist Party, and describes some of what goes on inside. The Importance of Tiananmen Square The Great Hall of the People was built in 1959 so that the National People’s Congress (NPC) had somewhere to meet. The NPC, which is composed of nearly three thousand members, is the largest parliament in the world, and it almost always passes the laws of the Communist Government without amendment. It is located next to Tiananmen Square, itself an important place in China. One of the reasons that Tiananmen is such an important symbol of the power of the Chinese Communist Party is that it was where Mao Zedong announced the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. 29 This source is a propaganda poster published in 1950 [see C9 source: Poster of the parade for the founding of the People’s Republic of China, also depicted to the left]. It shows the parade at Tiananmen to celebrate the founding of the country on 1 October 1949.
